Last updated : 15 December 2006 By SpursMAD

Spurs have been drawn to face Hossam Ghaly's former club Feyenoord in the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup.

It will also see a return to the Netherlands for Martin Jol with the first leg of the tie taking place in Rotterdam on the 14th or 15th February 2007. The return leg at White Hart Lane will be played on 22nd February 2007.

And the draw for the round of 16 draw was also made, with the winner of the Spurs Feyenoord tie set to take on either SC Braga of Portugal or Parma of Italy.

Jol said: "It could have been worse and it could have been better."

"I said it yesterday that we would probably get Feyenoord. It was not a bad draw for us, they are probably not as good as when they played Spurs in the final of the UEFA Cup in 1974."

"They had to sell Dirk Kuyt to Liverpool, but they've done well and beat a good Wisla Krakow side this week.

Ghaly said: "I had wanted to play against Feyenoord since we started in the UEFA Cup."

"It was good that we finished the group as winners without losing or drawing a game. It was a good sign."
